With
crew sightings and
confirmation of 2nd unit photography, there is now word that location filming for
Star Wars VII may begin on May 13th in Abu Dhabi, and may last until at least the end of the month. Security is said to be tight, as sets near completion, including "a 'shuttle-like' spacecraft, a large tower, a 'big, centuries-old-looking market'”, an 'alien house', and 10 to 15 jet powered “really fast buggies” (landspeeders?), as well as, a "whole world built on an "otherworldly" salt lake, and a newly created "blast crater".
